A true multi-hyphenate, Christian Wiggs is a vocalist, bandleader, lyricist, producer, director, artist manager, educator, record label executive, founder and CEO of Bandstand Presents and host of “Jazz Tonight” on PBS.

Born to a choreographer, Wiggs’ immersion into theatre and the jazz tradition has led to a remarkable career as an artist, leading and featured with ensembles on prolific stages such as Birdland, Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club and SXSW.

Producing chart topping records for the most sought-after names in jazz and reaching millions of viewers with his PBS television show, Wiggs manages 2x GRAMMY and Tony Award-winner Bryan Carter, Emmet Cohen and serves as the musical manager for global icon Jeff Goldblum.

Wiggs has produced major live and studio productions around the world including at Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and the In Memoriam performance at the 78th Annual BAFTA Awards.

In 2026, Wiggs created and produced a 57-piece orchestral show with Jeff Goldblum as part of “The Night Blooms World Tour” which is set to tour across nine countries and three continents including Australia, Europe, and North America. The orchestral show will see collaborations with The Metropolitan Orchestra, the GRAMMY-nominated The Heritage Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Oregon Symphony, the Colorado Symphony, and the Seattle Symphony.

As an educator, Wiggs is the co-founder and Executive Director of Global Jazz Workshop alongside Artistic Director, Chad LB.

“A tone and delivery akin to Kurt Elling, but with more of a James Moody flexibility.”

- George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
